I'm starting to think beans do not have a place in baked goods. I was trying to do some lentil muffins for a while too and they were sawdust-like. I'm tempted to fiddle with this recipe. I think it could use some fat. We'll see. I’ve made a couple different brownie recipes recently that included black beans and coffee grounds and they were terrible.

I would definitely add 1/4 cup melted dark chocolate and 1 tsp instant coffee. These are the key ingredients to my low fat brownies. Good luck!

Also, I think you need to add vanilla and it wouldn't hurt to whip the eggs up quite a bit to get a better texture. May also want to use some oil to mix with the chocolate powder! Brownies made with beans are very good actually! I just tried them last night. try adding instant coffee, maybe a few tablespoons to increase the richness of the chocolate flavor.

That seems like an oxymoron to me. Why not just eat a brownie and call it dessert?<br/><br/>If you are willing to concede that brownies (even healthier brownies) are dessert, Mollie Katzen has an excellent Peanut Butter Brownie recipe in her book, Vegetable Heaven. They're not health-foody at all, and they are fantastic. Hey Peanut Butter Boy!

I can't seem to keep bananas around long enough to get them to the mash-able/bake-able stage. Also, my roomies haven't been around enough to help eat an entire batch of cookies if I were to make them because otherwise it becomes a dangerous situation if I'm left alone with a batch of fresh cookies. <br/><br/>Maybe this week I'll have some time to try a small batch of those cookies and these peanut butter brownies.

But I had wandered to this blog after reading your comment on the <a HREF="http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/007164banana_cookies.php" REL="nofollow">banana cookies</a> and how you were intending to make them with peanut butter replacing the butter. Did you try this? Did it work? I want to make them and didn't want to waste my time if it didn't come out that well. :) I’m not a baking expert either so I don’t know how to help the recipe.

I'm glad you didn't made brownies with beans, that just sounds completely nasty lol. Hmm I’m not sure what you would have to do.
